Four American troops are wounded when Russian forces deliberately RAM their armored vehicle in eastern Syria during high-speed confrontation

• A Russian armored vehicle rammed into an American patrol vehicle in eastern Syria on Monday
• Pentagon declined to comment as Politico reported that a statement on the attack had been drafted, but not issued, by U.S. Central Command
• Four U.S. troops were wounded, suffering concussion from the high-speed sideswipe
• They were in their MRAP - Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected - vehicle as part of a patrol when the skirmish with a Russian patrol happened
• A Russian military helicopter flew low overhead, a tactic used to disperse people on the ground, and footage was released from the Russian vehicle
• About 500 U.S. troops remain in eastern Syria after Donald Trump ordered a pullout from the north of the country in 2019
• The exact location of the ramming has not been revealed
• Russian planes and ships have been repeatedly accused of buzzing their U.S. counterparts but skirmish is first of its kind involving ground forces

Russia is going to need to be dealt with. Maybe we can convince Russia and China to fight each other.

We’ll probably hear that it was just a couple of Syrian teens joyriding in a stolen armored vehicle. Because Putin sounded to Trump like he was telling the truth........and Vlad is far more trustworthy than our own intelligence and military agencies....
